Eastbourne to Ramsgate

Michelle Frieda

In the 6.30am lock in Eastbourne for early start. Watched v large traditional vessel manoeuvring in the lock with great skill. Not much wind (again) so motorsailed all the way with sea like glass. After St Margaret's bay the wind picked up so had to reef the genoa to keep Twiggy happy. Moored up next to smaller vessel but v tight squeeze. Off for dinner in Ramsgate to our fave rest/cafe.
